The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Normally, if one of the Four Emperors joined the fray, ordinary pirates would be terrified. But this is not a normal time. Everyone is going crazy, wishing they could get the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, gain invincible power, and break through the encirclement.

They ignored the fat mother and even joined forces to try to drive this powerful enemy out first. Katakuri and his sons were furious: "You dare to lay a hand on my mother? Die!"

The entire pirate crew was caught up in it.

"Let it be chaotic, let it continue to be chaotic." Im looked down at the pirates below, who resembled wild beasts, with a contemptuous gaze as if he were looking at a swarm of ants.

The World Government warships' cannons plowed Dressrosa three times over, bombarding it for thirty minutes. Before the smoke cleared, Kong's adjutant ordered his soldiers to land on the island and kill all the enemies they saw.

After Im teleported away from the lightning spear once again, Vivi didn't stop, unleashing a barrage of lightning bolts as thick as an arm.

The two left the area of ​​Dressrosa and flew at an altitude of three thousand meters, with the vast ocean below.

Im's hands, neck, and other areas were already showing signs of rubberization. She would occasionally sneer and try to dodge the lightning bolts whenever possible. If she couldn't dodge them, she would rely on her rubberized body to withstand them.

"Bang!" Just as she was feeling smug and preparing to enjoy Weiwei's dejected expression, a muffled gunshot rang out.

The black bullet was covered with Armament Haki. As Vivi's right-hand man, Old Man Van emerged from the belly of the whale Laboon, took to the sky using Moonwalk, and then fired a bullet at Im's head.

As one of the world's top snipers, Lao Fan's sniping ability underwent a qualitative leap after mastering Armament Haki and Observation Haki and eating a Devil Fruit.

Im can use her rubber to withstand thunder and Nika's energy to fight off Vivi's vampire form's many attacks, but she can't withstand bullets.

At the critical moment, she twisted her waist and shook her head, narrowly dodging the bullet. Old Fan's expression remained unchanged. He pulled back the bolt and fired two more shots. Im was enraged. He grabbed Luffy tightly with his right hand and swung his left hand, sending a crescent-shaped spatial cut across Old Fan's waist.

With his Straw-Straw Fruit power activated, Old Van transferred all the damage away. His expression was numb, and his gun-wielding hands didn't tremble at all. Dodge? Hide? Forget about it! He ignored the enemy's attacks, mechanically pulling the bolt, aiming, and pulling the trigger. His plan was to snipe Im! Let's see who kills whom first!

Weiwei launched another fierce attack, her counterattack coming as Lao Fan fired his gun.

Princess Perona, holding a parasol, flew into the sky. Vivi pointed at Im: "Quick, that's Crocodile! Kill her! Avenge Lord Moria!"

"Huh? Huh? Let me see... Eh? It really is Crocodile! Crocodile! I'm going to kill you!" Princess Mononoke's eyes widened. At first, she was very confused. How did Crocodile suddenly turn into a woman?

After looking at her carefully for two seconds, she realized that Weiwei was right; this woman really was a genuine crocodile!

What else is there to say?

Regardless of whether you are male or female, even if she turns to ashes, she will avenge Lord Moria!

In the battle of Impel Down, Princess Mononoke ultimately failed to defeat the tough-skinned San Juan Wolf. During this time, she improved her Ghostly Divine Wind Bomb twice, making it more powerful and with a wider blast radius!

Princess Mononoke let out a hysterical scream, forcefully pulling at the space with both hands. Her physical strength was rapidly depleting, and soon, five ghosts, each twenty meters tall, with broad shoulders and thick waists, comparable to giants, emerged from the air.

"Super Invincible Flash Spiral Zero Kamikaze Phantom!"

Princess Mononoke pointed at Im in the sky, and five oversized ghosts rushed up at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary ghosts.

Even the timid duck Karu fired a "shadow gun" from afar to provide support.

Chapter 576 The Sand Crocodile Who Learned the Truth

"Blow her up! Blow her up, blow her up!" Princess Mononoke clenched her little fists and cheered for the ghost from afar.

"Hehehe, what a bunch of ignorant brats." Im showed no fear. He first turned his left hand into sand, grabbed the "Shadow Spear" shot by Duck Karu, and then threw it in Old Fan's direction. The Shadow Spear pierced Old Fan's chest, forcing him to use the Devil Fruit's ability to transfer damage once again.

Im's body was like an illusion, seemingly right in front of them, yet the five enormous kamikaze ghosts could never touch her. It always seemed like they were just one centimeter away, and that one centimeter was as far as an insurmountable chasm. Im raised her left hand, and a cloud of yellow sand flew everywhere. The five enormous kamikaze ghosts were covered by the dense sand and in the blink of an eye, they turned into five expressionless rubber figures. The rubber figures turned around and "looked" at the Ghost Princess.

"Huh? Oh dear, what's going on? Vivi, come save me!" Princess Mononoke was being chased by the betrayed rubber man, jumping up and down. As she ran, she didn't forget about blowing up the sand crocodile, and every now and then she would throw two Kamikaze Ghosts towards Im.

Old Fan was like an emotionless robot, firing bullet after bullet from the barrel.

What Im truly feared was Vivi.

With the help of Lao Fan and the Ghost Princess, Vivi has completely mastered this guy's methods.

The Sand-Sand Fruit is the foundation, while the Space-Space Fruit, being still with its original body in Mary Geoise, can only provide some auxiliary abilities. It absorbs energy from Luffy's body to counteract its own Rumble and Vampire forms. It can be said that Im's carefully planned enemy is Vivi.

However, Vivi also has a way to counter her, and that is the Soul-Soul Fruit!

"Soul-shattering!"

When facing someone who fears you, this "soul shock" technique can make them lose their soul.

Im showed no fear of Vivi and easily evaded the attack. Vivi tilted her head, somewhat puzzled by the move.

"Soul-shattering!"

"Soul Incantation!"

"Soul-shattering!"

Vivi has been attacking Im using her soul.

Im thought she was making a foolish move, so he raised his palm and launched a teleportation to a longer distance. Judging from the direction, she seemed to be heading back to Mary Geoise.

"I'm going after her! You guys hurry up and catch up!" Weiwei shouted.

Karu the duck, waving a little red flag, quacked and pointed in another direction, meaning, "You're going the wrong way..."

Vivi quickly caught up with Im again. Luffy's aura grew weaker and weaker, while three-quarters of Im's body had completely turned into rubber.

The two exchanged another seven or eight moves. At first, Vivi had the absolute upper hand, but now she was starting to lose some of her grip on Im.

Im fought and retreated, wanting to return to Mary Geoise, but Vivi was not about to let her have her way.

She held on tightly, the light attribute within her body making her very uncomfortable. It was like a giant beacon, detectable even from thousands of miles away. No matter where Im teleported, Vivi would definitely catch up within ten seconds at most.

They ran from Dressrosa to Mary Geoise, then flew from Mary Geoise to the West Blue, and then ran around aimlessly for a while, circling the East Blue, South Blue, North Blue, Grand Line, and New World three times each, and finally broke out of the atmosphere and arrived on the moon.

They were incredibly fast; many passersby didn't even see what they were before the two of them flew past.

The more Im fought, the more confused she became. In her eyes, many of Vivi's soul attacks were useless. Her willpower had long been honed to its limit, and the Soul-Soul Fruit had negligible effect on her. What was the point of attacking so persistently?

Im hadn't participated in actual combat for many years. When she was alone among the flowers, she could naturally think about the plan over and over again. But when she was thinking about problems in battle, she seemed a bit "slow to react". When the two of them set foot on the lunar land, she finally realized: "Your target is him?"

With a smile on her lips, Weiwei was starting to pant after the continuous, relentless attacks and flight, even with her strong recovery ability.

"Idiot! I've been lying to you all along! Someone as stupid as you think you can seize the throne of Alabasta? I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. Open your dog eyes and see who I am! Hahahaha—" Vivi laughed wildly.

Im was taken aback at first, then she read a large amount of anger, shame, humiliation and hatred from the Sand Crocodile's consciousness. The power of this emotion was so strong. She had originally compressed the Sand Crocodile's consciousness into a corner of her mind, but unexpectedly, Vivi's series of soul attacks hit the Sand Crocodile. Afterwards, she used some kind of provocative ability to completely ignite the Sand Crocodile's anger.

When Im took over the body of the sand crocodile, he quickly reviewed its memories.

She'd lived too long; memories were a heavy burden for her. She often avoided thinking about things related to herself, let alone Crocodile's memories. She was cautious, only glancing at them without delving deeper. In her view, Crocodile was just a tool delivered to her door with a Devil Fruit; why should she need to know his life story and family relationships? Definitely not. If she had to research every random person, she'd be exhausted.

I never expected that such a huge blunder would happen here today.

The emotional outburst from the Sand Crocodile was extremely intense, as violent as a volcanic eruption! Im was caught off guard. Although he could overwhelm the Sand Crocodile in terms of mental strength and willpower, he was not prepared enough and couldn't control himself. He lost control of his body instantly.

The crocodile woke up! He was woken up by anger!

"How dare you lie to me! How dare you... how dare you play me for fools! You bastard, you've been lying to me all along!" Although it was still a woman's voice, the crocodile's tone had returned.

He had never been so angry. Mr. 0 was Nefertari Vivi?! It turned out he was the biggest idiot in the world!

Does anyone else know about this? He guessed that many people already knew... He must be a joke in their eyes, right? He could already picture Robin covering his mouth and chuckling with a contemptuous look in his eyes.

Anger is harmful to the mind, and this is absolutely true. Crocodile was so angry that, without realizing it, many cracks appeared in his soul. His anger acted as a barrier, keeping Im's consciousness out.

Devil Fruits and their users are two sides of the same coin; if one is strong, the other is weak. Now, Crocodile's burning soul unleashed a burst of spiritual power that instantly overwhelmed Im.

To maximize the mocking effect, Weiwei laughed loudly, "You're so stupid! Just because I called you 'boss' a couple of times, you actually think you're the boss? By the way, boss, you haven't paid this month's salary yet! You asked me to rescue you the other day, and look what happened! I rescued you, didn't I? Give me a bigger reward, after all, I saved your dog's life, hahahaha—!"

Chapter 577 Talk-no-jutsu!

The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Crocodile was furious. Seeing that he was still holding Luffy in his right hand, he didn't even realize what it was, who it was, or where he was. He let go of Luffy, who was rolling his eyes back, and let him fall into a crater on the moon.

Vivi continued to ramble on about the past, starting with how she infiltrated Baroque Works and obtained the codename MS. Wednesday, then moving on to controlling the weapons business in the underworld, and finally recounting how she, as a Marine Admiral, forced Crocodile to switch between the roles of Shichibukai, pirate, and revolutionary army.

Vivi smiled brightly. She couldn't share this joy with the person involved before, and could only enjoy it with Robin and Yamato behind closed doors. Now, her wish has finally come true.

She felt uncomfortable if she didn't complain a bit.

She built her happiness on the suffering of others; she became beautiful, while the sand crocodile suffered tons of harm.

Thinking of his miserable and ridiculous experience, the sand crocodile's eyes turned bloodshot, and he transformed into a sandstorm, ready to fight Vivi to the death.

"Idiot! You idiot!" Seeing Luffy fall to the ground as he let go, Im was furious. The process of absorbing water and life force through the "desert prison" was interrupted, and his plan, which he had been working on for over 800 years, was completely destroyed. And all of this was caused by a small sand crocodile.

I had planned everything perfectly, but I never expected this situation. What's going on? Why are you so angry? As an observer, Im had no idea why.

She tried to regain control of her body, but the crocodile had gone mad! She had never been so angry in her life!

Ignoring the dying Luffy, ignoring the "abnormality" caused by the male-to-female transformation, and even disregarding the awakened Devil Fruit energy within him, he had only one thought: to kill Vivi! Then find a secluded place to commit suicide!

He's already dead; he has no face to continue living. Living would only make him a laughingstock.

Previously, Vivi was on the offensive while Im was running away. Now, the tables have turned, and Crocodile is on the offensive while Vivi occasionally parries a few moves. Most of the time, she is the one using "verbal attacks" to mock Crocodile and Im.

"Boss, to be honest, we've actually worked together really well. You truly are a hero of Alabasta, and Robin thinks so too. We'll write your contributions into the history books later."

"Actually, what you're eating isn't the Sand-Sand Fruit at all, is it? I think it's better called the Silly-Silly Fruit."

"Old man! The plan failed, didn't it? Let me tell you something: the more meticulous the plan, the easier it is to go wrong! You don't like it? I'm standing right here, come out and fight me if you dare!"

The crocodile, following its usual attack pattern, abandoned all defense. The Desert Blade was now unpredictable, a purely suicidal attack, as it furiously slashed at Vivi.

"Hahahaha—Boss, you're a bit slow."

"Huh? Boss, why is your attack power so weak? Is it because you can't afford breakfast?"

Vivi's strength far surpasses that of Crocodile at this moment, and even with her desperate efforts, she cannot close the gap between them. However, she is not in a hurry to attack. Now that Im's consciousness is trapped inside Crocodile's body, it is a golden opportunity.

Vivi transforms into a sharp-tongued queen; her words are sharper than swords, and every single one of them can pierce Crocodile's pride to pieces.

His heart was bleeding, and he felt like he was grinding his teeth to powder.

He roared angrily, "Shut up!"

"Shut up? Good medicine tastes bitter. I'm helping you, I'm saving you."

"Die! Die with me!" The sand crocodile completely forgot the difference in strength between the two sides, and pounced on Vivi, wanting to die together with her.

Vivi anticipated his move, grabbed his wrist with her left hand covered in Armament Haki, tilted her head, and glanced at him with utter contempt.

Damn it, damn it, damn it! Crocodile felt a fire burning in his heart, and without realizing it, he used the energy of his awakened Devil Fruit, the part of energy belonging to Im.

Sand grains appeared out of nowhere, covering the sky and filling the field of vision with fine sand, like an endless sea of ​​sand. With a roar from the sand crocodile, the sea of ​​sand rapidly expanded, covering the entire moon.

"Wow! The user of the Foolish Fruit is quite skilled!" Vivi stopped using her powerful moves like Thor and Dead River. She ran around, her previously ghostly speed reduced by at least 50-60%, giving Crocodile the illusion that he could kill her if he put in a little more effort.

Crocodile is desperately extracting energy from the Devil Fruit, hoping to completely submerge the moon with the desert and die! He'll just perish here with that despicable Mr. 0!
